A review by rebeccacider
Empire by Orson Scott Card

2.0

Reading this essentially because the book flap lied to me regarding its plot. It's interesting, but not really a novel - more of a historical/political thought experiment in story form. Which if you're going to write something like this set so close to the present is not a bad thing; if he'd written an actual novel, it would be harder for the reader to think critically about its ideas. However, it's not really art.
